The 2.3.3 update provides the following that are fully functional:
USB Tethering - allows you to attach a single device via USB to allow it to access the Internet through your X10's WiFi or 3G data connection
Portable WiFi Hotspot - allows other WiFi-enabled devices to attach to your X10 via WiFi to allow them to access the Internet through your X10's 3G data connection
Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Tethering & Portable Hotspot to get to and set up those features.
For USB tethering, you'll need either a WiFi or 3G data connection available. For the portable WiFi hotspot, you need a 3G data connection available and the WiFi hardware must be on as well (since your X10 will become a WiFi router).
They work quite well, and they easily replace what we used to need 3rd-party apps for in the past.

[Q] Barnacle WiFi tether from phone to A70

just received my A70, installed GApps and a few programs through the file viewer after transferring via USB.
Then, I wanted to download a few apps from the market...
I got Barnacle setup on my X10, and my laptops can both see the new WiFi network created by it, but the Archos can't
Has anyone tethered using this method before?
If so, I think I am using the wrong channel to connect, but can anyone advise which WiFi channel the A70 would require??
I can pick up other WiFi networks, but can't actually connect to them due to restrictions on the routers (I'm at work, they require MAC addresses and for some reason wont let me add this to the network )
Try any channel below 11. It's a known kernel issue.
if it creates an AD-HOC connection, then that's the issue.
Aha, yes it does. Damn
I'll have to try the proper tethering method then using the cell phone tether option (which I briefly tried but failed to connect through bluetooth)
Try "Wireless Tether for root users" with it's bluetooth option. Works for me Have the tether activated on the phone while pairing it with the Archos though.

[Q] Using tether *without* internet connection for file transfer

For use on locations without internet connection (e.g. on holiday) I want to be able to transfer files over Wifi from / to my Galaxy and a tablet (an iPad in my case).
On an iPad, Bluetooth is no optopn as file transfer is not supported.
Normally I can enable Wifi tethering on my Galaxy and then connect any device to the Galaxy without using an internet connection.
But the tethering requires a mobile internet connection. Is there a way to work around this a sort of 'connection mock' which fakes a mobile APN to enable internetless Wifi connection ?
Just like a home router which s not connected to the ADSL / cable modem.
UPDATE: it worked!!
I tried by disabling the packet data
Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Mobile networks -> Packetdata -> UNcheck
Then I enabled Wifi tethering and could then connect my Mac to the Galaxy over Wifi so this is a good idea for using on holiday or other places where no internet is available but one wants to transfer data between devices.

Free Wifi Hotspot?

I rooted my MoPho, but can't seem to get my PC to connect to the internet via the phone's wifi signal. I bought a Belkin N150 wireless USB adapter. I can get the computer to pick up the MpPho's signal and connect via Wireless Tether or Quick wifi hotspot lite, but the computer says no internet connection, even though the signal strength is excellent. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
read around the general forum and the faq forum also. you might get some ideas from them. as far as i go i use wifi tether 3.1 beta 8 and it works fine.

I still cant get my PC to feed off the MpPho's wifi hotspot despite it connecting and having an "ecellent" connection. Any thoughts? Much thanks.
install Data Enabler from market, Quick Wifi HotSpot Lite
step by step
1. disable 3G by Data Enabler.
2. open Quick Wifi HotSpot Lite and start tethering.
3. enable 4G
works 100%

[Q] Tethering WI-Fi data and not the cellular data

I have been searching for this particular problem but I didn't find anywhere and seeking a solution here which I think is the most suitable place.
I want to tether Wi-Fi data and not the cellular data. Reason is that one can use Wi-Fi data freely from many other sources and like to use that in our laptop instead of the expensive cellular data.
I have figured out two methods, but that have their own limitations.
(i) One can use USB tether (easytether apps) to use wi-fi data. In this method the positive thing is that one can tether either of the data i.e. wi-fi data and cellular data. But the thing is that we need a cable always, once we use wifi hotspot then we only can use cellular data. In this method the disadnantage is we always need a cable and sometime it frequently gets disconnected.
(ii) Second method is using bluetooth one can tether the Wifi data. For example using Foxfi apps one can use Wi-fi data by activating Bluetooth DUN ( and there could be many more apps like Foxfi). But the disadvantage is internet is very slow even when the wifi data is high speed.
One obvious question is if I need wifi data then why do I need to tether through the phone. But there are situation when I can't connect the wifi directly due to some reason. Secondly, suppose the main wifi has got some proxy authentication but in my phone I could connect the same wifi but without the proxy authentication and if some how I tether that to laptop then I can connect internet directly without any proxy.
So I curious to know is there any way to tether the Wifi data (not the cellular data) using hotspot or any other way.

WiFi Tether but... Without Internet?

This may seem like a dumb question but... is there a way or an app to essentially turn on WiFi hotspot feature so that I can make an ad-hoc LAN but NOT let all the devices connected access the internet?
Example: I enable WiFi hotspot on my phone. I still have a cellular data connection so I can browse the web, stream music, etc. but any other device that connect to my phone's hotspot does NOT get my data connection, they are just on the LAN the built in android hotspot creates.
I don't want to let other users "run up" my data usage but I want the other users when they connect to my hotspot to be all on one network.
I have a bootloader unlocked Motorola Moto X (original, 2013) and rooted and I use Tasker. Maybe after I enable the hotspot feature I could modify some IP tables via a Tasker app to "enable/disable" internet blocking.
Or maybe there's an app out there for this? I suppose another alternative would be disable mobile data and then enable hotspot (if that's even allowed) but the pitfall there is then my phone doesn't have internet either.
Thanks,
Mike
